Got this in my email today...
Good day Sir/Ma, While searching for variety of products retailers I found your store's email in the directory so I decided to request your store's quotes so as to know what product you have available and the price at which they sell, so that I would know what products to be ordered. Please note: I own a store here in Australia and I'm mostly having problems pertaining to shipping and delivery of merchandise to my store address; ABN 78 074 588 668 15 Yarra Street South Melbourne, VIC 3205 Australia I shall make payment via my credit card ( Visa/Master Card ) so you charge it. This I will send to you as soon as I get your store quote and price for each product. Perhaps, it would be best if you contact the shipping company I have registered my store address with, so you can notify them that I have a packaeg to be picked up from your store soonest. Included is my customer ID with the Shipping company and the company's E-mail address. FC75930-29MA, shipping.cargo@safe-mail.net respectively. Regards. |

I don't understand what they are requesting. Does he just want a price list?

Melbourne is, on the whole, a major metropolitan center of commerce. Shipping to Australia, particularly there, is no problem at all. Be wary.

Dear Mr. Higley:
I know you're tired of being treated like a moron by scammers. Who could possibly believe the stories they try to sell? So I'll give you the straight truth: I spend half the day in an internet Café, trying to make as much money as the guy at the table next to me. It's hard! So please send me your bank account number, your mother's maiden name, your DOB, and three or more of your credit-card numbers. Trusting that you will be refreshed by my honesty, I look forward to your speedy response. Umbobo Unboobula Third seat from the door Omkwekwe's 'Rolling in Money' Internet Café Nigeria. |
